Cycles of Life

I'm here again, Dad, 
With flowers and stories
About what’s been going on
Since you’ve been gone.
Same old, same old…
School, work,
Braces for Billy, Julie into dance,
Aunt Millie, she's in the nursing home,
Ellen had a little girl.
Oh, Stan died, heart attack.
But maybe you knew that already?
Are you here, Dad?
Is there more than this
Endless cycle of
Life and death… ?
